------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 13 11:01:41 -0800 2005 ------- This is the same problem as issue #45593: All dimensions such as tabs, margins, line spacings, line widths, displayed dimensions in Draw, etc., are limited to two decimal places of accuracy. In my opinion, the folks that wrote the code for OO did so from a metric-centric mentality, thinking that *millimeters* is the only unit of measurement in existence. So, they "generously" allowed two decimal places of accuracy, which is the equivalent of .000394 inches. Even this is much too limiting, and there is no reason to impose such limits in the year 2005 when storage space and processing power are plentiful. But when you try to specify a dimension in *inches* with the same limit of two decimal places, you are limited to an accuracy of .01", which is over 25 times worse than the limits in millimeters. I filed issue #45593 in March of 2005, and there are no indications that anything is being done about it. I think that this is a serious flaw. There should be as many decimal places allowed as the user wishes to use. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
